History Dayuse.com was founded in 2010 by David Lebée and Thibaud D’Agrèves, they both worked at Hotel Amour in Paris. The hotel is known for accommodating touring artists and musicians, who ask about renting a room for a few hours during daytime as a place to relax before a performance. Lebée and D’Agrèves recognised that there was a gap in the market.
